The conference room door opened.

As the ten nominees from Yunxi entered one by one, the oppressive atmosphere in the entire venue instantly doubled, filling the room with a chilling feeling.

The first to enter was Huang Yaozhan, the eldest son of Huang Shengtian, who ranked first on the nomination list. Huang Yaozhan's skill level had reached the intermediate level of martial arts master, and he was only one step away from becoming an advanced martial arts master.

It can be said that Huang Yaozhan is the most talented martial artist of the younger generation in the Yunxi martial arts world. He reached the intermediate level of martial arts master at a young age and is known as a martial arts prodigy who is rare in a century.

Only three people were able to enter the Yunxi Martial Arts Association at this Yunxi Martial Arts Tournament, and Huang Yaozhan was directly pre-selected.

The martial arts masters in the conference room started talking and nodding as soon as Huang Yaozhan walked in. They were all praising Huang Yaozhan, and some even started flattering Huang Shengtian.

Huang Shengtian's face was filled with undisguised pride, his expression radiant, even surpassing that of the victorious military parade.

The second person to enter was also from the Huang family. Huang Yao, a mid-level martial arts master from the Huang family, was Huang Shengtian's daughter. Compared to her brother Huang Yaozhan, Huang Yao was slightly inferior, but only in comparison to Huang Yaozhan.

Compared to other martial artists of her age, Huang Yao is an absolute powerhouse. This is evident simply from her ranking second on the nomination list.

Moreover, the news circulating within the Yunxi martial arts community suggests that Huang Yao is very likely to be one of the two remaining spots for new members of the Yunxi Martial Arts Association.

Huang Yao has never lost to anyone among the younger generation except her brother. She has earned a resounding reputation in Yunxi martial arts as the modern-day Mulan.

Therefore, Huang Yao's strength is beyond question.

The meeting room buzzed with discussion once again, all the martial artists envying Huang Shengtian for cultivating two such outstanding martial artists. It was precisely because the Huang family had such brilliant rising stars, like shining pearls, that their position as the number one martial arts family among the three great families of Yunxi had remained unchallenged.

The third is a member of the Zhao family. Zhao Qiangmeng is a mid-level martial artist from the Zhao family. Although Zhao Qiangmeng is only ranked third, he is the most mysterious figure, because none of the martial artists in the conference room, except for the head of the Zhao family, have ever truly witnessed Zhao Qiangmeng's strength.

Because Zhao Mengqiang had been cultivating in seclusion at home, he was known as the trump card of the younger generation of the Zhao family.

Just by standing there, the martial arts masters in the conference room could clearly feel the pressure emanating from Zhao Mengqiang. This pressure was in no way inferior to that of Huang Yao, who ranked second, and could even rival that of Huang Yaozhan, who ranked first.

"Patriarch Zhao, I have always heard of the young master of the Zhao family. Seeing him today, I can confirm that he is indeed extraordinary."

"Could it be that Young Master Zhao deliberately came in third place, pretending to be weak while actually being strong?"

"A martial arts master joked."

Zhao Tianba gave a cryptic smile.

Who knows?

"Perhaps my son's abilities are only good enough to earn him third place."

As Zhao Tianba spoke, he cast a disdainful glance at Huang Shengtian.

Huang Shengtian returned Zhao Tianba's mocking gaze. Neither of them would give in.

After all the nominees had arrived.

Fang Kuangxiong stood up and looked at the elite young generation of martial arts practitioners in Yunxi, a look of joy in his eyes.

I couldn't help but say it.

"Seeing you young generation here today, I feel as if I see the hope of Yunxi Martial Arts, just like a dazzling sun slowly rising."

"It's truly a case of the Yangtze River's front waves pushing the back waves, each wave stronger than the last."

Upon hearing Fang Kuangxiong's praise, the other martial arts masters in the conference room also joined in.

Huang Yaozhan and his group did not express their gratitude, but instead sized each other up, as this was the first meeting of the top ten nominees.

Everyone was wary of each other, some even secretly vying for dominance, tentatively releasing their auras. The room was thick with the smell of gunpowder, as if it could explode at any moment.

Suddenly, Fang Kuangxiong laughed and waved his hand, and in an instant...

The oppressive atmosphere in the room dissipated instantly, and the room returned to normal.

Seeing this, everyone present was ashamed and showed a surprised expression. The younger generation felt a sense of unease when they looked at Chairman Fang Kuangxiong, and unconsciously swallowed.

Those young people who were exerting all their strength to unleash their pressure and resist were completely stunned.

At this moment, everyone present realized that they were nothing in front of Fang Kuangxiong.

A young martial arts master secretly rejoiced.

"Luckily, I didn't dare to say that sentence just now, which is that the front waves of the Yangtze River push the back waves, and the back waves die on the beach."

"Why!"

"Finally, I can breathe properly again. Ever since this meeting started, I haven't been able to breathe normally," Fang Kuangxiong joked.

The others immediately followed suit with smiles.

Fang Kuangxiong changed the subject and addressed the younger generation.

"Do you know why I've gathered you ten nominees here today?"

Everyone was puzzled, because they were all in seclusion preparing for the Yunxi Martial Arts Tournament and were not very clear about what had recently happened in Yunxi.

Fang Kuangxiong briefly recounted Niu Dachun's deeds to everyone.

"Therefore, I plan to offer another pre-selected spot this time."

"If any of you can capture or kill Niu Dachun this time, you will be guaranteed a spot in the Martial Arts Association."
